SKINNER GOES: POST WHO IS YOUR 1st PICK FOR COACH AND WHY?

[BCEagle74]

74, the flex is not the problem. Did you notice Xavier running multiple flex sets last night? I know people think it is a "high school" offense, but so is the motion and you never hear anyone complain about Duke.

If motion was your high school offense, your kids were too smart to be any good.

I don't care if we run the flex, I don't care if we run the motion. The thing that bothers me about Al is how stubborn he is, quite simply, we don't have the personnel to run flex this year. We need a coach that doesn't just stick with one system, we need a coach that runs an offense that fits what players he has.

Thanks. That has been my point 1000X, the flex doesn;t work withc ertain personnel and we had a fleet squad of guards and swing men so you go Nolan Richardson..

The sad truth is we lose SKinner, we get Coen.

Thanks. That has been my point 1000X, the flex doesn't work with certain personnel and we had a fleet squad of guards and swing men so you go Nolan Richardson..

The sad truth is we lose Skinner, we get Coen.

I'm going to have to admit that I would prefer Coen over Skinner. There are other coaches that I want more than Coen but right now the food chain goes:
Good coaches>Coen>Skinner

[InTheKnow]

Jeff Battle assistant head coach of Wake Forest would be a great hire. just look at the recruitment work he's done over the and he's already apart of the ACC family

[BCMcG]

While we're not talking about former Duke point guards who coach in Cambridge, how do we feel about former Duke point guards who are currently assistants down in Durham? Collins and Wojo must be possibilities for head jobs sometime soon.

[bcfanbetweenthhedges]

Geno Auriemma

because, why not

GDF will hire Duquette

Is suicide still a mortal sin?

If they can make BC the type of program that Duke is (e.g., winning, recruiting well, graduating players), I'll take it.

As long as it doesn't involve slapping the floor on defense or flopping at every opportunity.

[BCMcG]

If they can get rid of the ghost haunting the empty seats in the student section, I'll take it.

A) Seeing either of those two douches prowling the sidelines in Conte would turn me into Dexter.

B) I have no inside information, but I guarantee that both of those lumps would/will be terrible head coaches. I'll even back that guarantee with $1,000,000. If I am wrong, I will give you one million dollars.

Why are you so sure they would be terrible head coaches? I know Collins has a reputation as a good recruiter and whether or not you like Coach K, spending 9 years on his bench I would think he would have picked up some things on how to run a program. I'd much rather have Collins than Coen.

I'm so proud.

But seriously I think the next coach will have to be a ghostbuster in order to get fans back in the Spooky Haunted Tomb.

First, I think it's telling that they're essentially never mentioned as candidates for jobs coming open. Second, with the exception of about two of Quin Snyder's years at Missouri, no Duke assistant has been better than average as a head coach. Third, it is my personal belief that the first two points are a direct result of Duke assistants doing approximately nothing. The job description seems to be running drills, rebounding for shooters, and most importantly, cheering a lot and making mean faces at referees. Krzyzewski runs that ship from stem to stern.

1)Collins has been mentioned in connection with the Seton Hall and Depaul jobs.
2) Mike Brey has been decent as has Jeff Capel (this season notwithstanding). It's a little early to judge Dawkins so the jury is out on him. So basically Tommy Amaker sucks is what you are basing this on. Regardless what anyone has done in the past has no bearing on what Collins would do.
3) I see no way you could possibly know anything about what assistant coaches on Duke or any other team are responsible for. I have heard exactly the opposite about both collins and wojo in that they are heavily involved in recruiting, scouting reports and game planning. Neither of us could claim to know for sure.

1) Hadn't heard that. I stand corrected. In any case, I haven't heard either Collins or Wojo mentioned as a serious/leading candidate for any job.
2) Mike Brey has been decent at best. If you don't like Al Skinner, you passionately hate Mike Brey. Jeff Capel has been OK; I suspect that Oklahoma will continue to decline/stagnate now that he no longer has Sampson's (ill-gotten) recruits. Stanford has gotten worse both years Dawkins has been there, and the handful of games I've seen them play do not lead me to believe Dawkins will be turning things around.
3) I specifically said "it's my personal belief." The last time I knew anyone who had any real privileged info about Duke basketball was more than 10 years ago. I stand by my belief that Coach K is the alpha and omega of Duke basketball, and I have heard the same from those who watch them much more closely than I do. I will however admit that my dislike for Duke basketball probably colors my opinion.

Amaker is the only one that has been an abject failure. The rest are just bad. It's a track record that should give you pause.

I said Brey has been decent. 10 years at ND, never had a losing season and had 20 or more wins 7 times including the last 4 in a row. 65% of his games overall and 61% in conference. That is decent. Not outstanding, but not bad either. His tournament track record is not that good.

Throw in his penchant for mock turtlenecks and you're basically saying he's Al Skinner.

Pretty much, though Brey actually has a better winning percentage especially in conference.

WOW, I am sure we can't do any better.

[BCEagle74]

Chris Mack..here is his bio again...I would pay him $3M and use Big Peter's and Angry Ty's tip money to juice the deal.

Since he is an Xavier Alum, first year, loyalty and all else he lives in area, wife deal, it will take at least $2.5M to $3.0M to get him.

MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE....GO FOR THE MACK TRUCK!!!! TAKE OFF THE RUBBER BAND LEAHY-HOO!

We all wanted Brian Kelly in 2009, Brain sent GDF a love note and $3M for 5 and we would have no SPAZOO CUSHION!!!

One thing for sure...there ain't no dope smoking lazy out of shape losers on Xavier.

Chris Mack Photo Gallery

Chris Mack, who is the 17th head coach in program history, was announced as head coach on April 15 and succeeds Sean Miller, who recently took over as Arizona's head coach. Mack spent the past five seasons as an assistant on Miller's staff here at Xavier.

Mack, a two-time team captain as a player at Xavier, is 39 years old and a 1992 Xavier University graduate with a degree in communication arts. Mack is the fifth Xavier alumnus out of 17 all-time head coaches to take over the Xavier men's basketball program and is the first since former XU team captain Don Ruberg spent four seasons at the helm from 1963-67. Joe Meyer (13 seasons from 1920-33), Ed Burns (one season in 1945-46) and Harry Gilligan (one season from 1919-20) are the other XU alums that have been named head coach.

Mack was XU's Director of Basketball Operations from 1999-2001 under the late former XU head coach Skip Prosser. Mack spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Wake Forest under Prosser from 2001-04. He returned to Xavier in 2004 as an assistant coach under Miller. During his 10 years on the staffs at Xavier and Wake, Mack coached on nine teams that made postseason play, including eight teams that made the NCAA Tournament field. Those eight NCAA teams made the NCAA Second Round three times (2002, 2003 and 2007), the NCAA Sweet 16 twice (2004 and 2009) and the NCAA Elite Eight once (2008).

"I am honored to be named the new head coach at Xavier University," said Mack. "I have a great love for Xavier, our loyal fans and the City of Cincinnati. I want to thank Fr. Graham, John Kucia and Mike Bobinski for believing in me and trusting in me to lead our basketball program. My time at Xavier under the leadership of the late Skip Prosser and Sean Miller has served me well and has prepared me for the challenge ahead. I have enjoyed being a part of our recent success and I am even more excited about Xavier's potential for the future as we continue to solidify ourselves as one of the elite programs in all of college basketball."

Mack has logged seven years on the basketball staff at Xavier, including five years under Miller and two under Prosser, helping XU make five NCAA Tournament appearances and an NIT. During these past five seasons while Mack was a Xavier assistant, the Musketeers compiled a 120-47 record that included four straight NCAA Tournament berths, three straight Atlantic 10 Conference Regular Season Championships (2009, 2008 and 2007) and an A-10 Tournament Championship (2006). XU has recorded four straight 20-win seasons, including 25 wins or more in each of the past three seasons. XU advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 this past season (2009), the NCAA Elite Eight and a school record 30 wins in 2008 and the NCAA Second Round in 2007. XU made one NCAA Tournament (2001) and one NIT (2000) in Mack's two years on Prosser's Xavier staff, while compiling a combined 42-20 record.

While Mack was an assistant on Prosser's staff at Wake Forest, the Demon Deacons compiled a combined 67-29 record with the help of such stars as Josh Howard, Darius Songalia and Chris Paul. Wake made the NCAA Tournament Second Round in 2002 and 2003 and the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2004. The 2002-03 team finished 25-6 overall and 13-3 and in first place in the ACC for the first time since 1995. It was WFU's first outright ACC regular season title in 41 years.

Mack participated in Nike's 2008 Villa 7 Consortium. The Villa 7 Consortium selected and invited some of the top men's basketball assistant coaches from around the country to attend an educational symposium held on Nike's campus in Beaverton, Ore., in May, 2008. The two-day event featured some of the greatest minds in coaching and served as a networking opportunity, as several athletic directors were on hand throughout the course of the program. The chief goal of the symposium was to provide opportunities for assistant coaches, who are considered to be the very best in college basketball.

In 2007, Mack was named to the Rivals.com "Top 25 Assistant Coaches" list. The site referred to Mack as a "solid recruiter and an excellent teacher." The College Bound Hoops 2008 rankings (recruitingrumors.com) ranked Mack 19th in the nation among assistant coaches.

Mack started his coaching career as the head coach at Mount Notre Dame from 1995-1999 and was named the 1996 Cincinnati Post Coach of the Year.

Mack Was Also A Leader As A Player

Mack is a former local prep basketball standout who played college basketball for two seasons at the University of Evansville before transferring to Xavier to finish off his career and earn his undergraduate degree.

Mack had three years as a player under head coach Pete Gillen at Xavier, including the 1990-91 season when he sat out the games and just practiced due to transfer rules. Mack was voted team captain for the 1991-92 season before ever playing a game for the Musketeers. He unfortunately suffered a season-ending ACL injury to his left knee just eight seconds into Xavier's first exhibition game that season against CREA Club of Portugal (11-11-91) at Cincinnati Gardens. He suffered an ACL injury to his right knee during a summer league game prior to his senior season of 1992-93, keeping him out of game action until January. Mack was captain again for his senior season, though, playing in 21 games and averaging 5.2 minutes on a team that finished 24-6, won the MCC Regular Season Championship at 12-2 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Mack was a two-year starter for the Evansville Aces in the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons under UE head coach Jim Crews. He played six times against Xavier, averaging 10.7 ppg. and recording a 2-4 record against the Musketeers. One of his freshman highlights was a career-high five steals in an 88-82 win over Xavier at UE (2-16-89). Two of his best games during his sophomore year came against Xavier, including 20 points, 11 rebounds and four assists in a 59-51 upset win of the then-No. 20 Musketeers at UE (1-18-90). He scored 17 points later in the season in a 71-52 loss to the Musketeers at Cincinnati Gardens (2-15-90).

Mack played in 31 games, starting 18 times, and averaged 7.2 ppg. and 3.5 rpg. as a freshman in the 1988-89 season, helping Evansville to a 25-6 overall record, an MCC Regular Season Championship at 10-2 and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Mack played in 32 games, starting 26 times, and averaged 10.1 ppg. and 6.4 rpg. as a sophomore in the 1989-90 season while helping the Aces to a 17-15 overall mark and a 7-5 MCC record.

Mack was the 1987-88 Cincinnati Post Metro Player of the Year and Greater Cincinnati League Player of the Year at St. Xavier High School after averaging 25.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 3.0 steals as a senior. He scored 35 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and had four blocks to lead the Bombers past Lexington (Ky.) Henry Clay in the Blue Chip City Basketball Invitational. He also played in the Ohio All-Star Game and the Ohio-Michigan all-star series.

After his graduation from Xavier in 1992, Mack played for Athletes in Action in 1993 and in Europe in 1994.

A Basketball Family Man

Mack was born December 30, 1969 in Cleveland, Ohio. He and his wife, Christi, live in Kentucky with their two-year-old daughter, Hailee, and their three-year-old daughter Lainee. Christi, the Director of Basketball Operations for Xavier University's women's basketball team from 2001-03, is now the head girls basketball coach at Colerain High School in Cincinnati.
